On the night of November 10, Russia attacked Ukraine with missiles of various types. The enemy also launched 67 drones, about 40 of which were Shaheds, according to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
According to the military, the enemy launched:
-
Two Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles from the airspace of the Tambov region;
-
five S-300/S-400 surface-to-air guided missiles from the Kursk region;
-
and 67 strike UAVs of the Shahed, Gerbera, and other types from the directions of Kursk, Millerovo, Oryol, Bryansk (Russia), as well as from Hvardiiske (temporarily occupied Crimea).
It is specified that around 40 of the launched drones were Shaheds.
Air defense response
The air attack was repelled by units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, including aviation, anti-aircraft missile troops, electronic warfare forces, drone systems, and mobile fire groups.
As of 09:30 a.m. local time, the Air Defense Forces had shot down or suppressed 52 enemy drones — Shahed, Gerbera, and other models — over eastern, southern, and central regions of Ukraine.
“Fifteen strike UAV impacts were recorded across nine locations. Information regarding the missiles is being clarified. No reports of missile impacts or debris have been received,” the statement said.
Russia’s strike on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure
As a reminder, on the night of November 8, Russia once again carried out a massive attack on Ukraine. Missiles and drones targeted the country’s energy infrastructure, causing emergency power outages in several regions.
In Kyiv, emergency shutdowns were activated twice, while Kremenchuk was left completely without electricity. Kharkiv also suffered a blackout in the evening, and the city’s metro system had already been out of service for the second consecutive day.
As a result of the massive attack, expanded power outage schedules will be in effect across Kyiv and most Ukrainian regions starting on November 10.
The restrictions will remain in effect throughout the day and may be adjusted depending on the situation in the energy system. Detailed regional blackout schedules can be found in the RBC-Ukraine report.
